WHOLE community my rear-end, this is nothing more than a witch-hunt. I believe you didn't even consider the interests of those involved in the body-rub sector. You just went in, blinders on, thinking these places are dirty and evil and needed to be shut down. What did they ever do to you, really? The whole community MINUS the industry and it’s patrons that you’ve shunned.

The holistic health care practitioners helped to draft the final document, and a representative from the group came as a delegate to the Council meeting to express support for the by-law. He remarked that he believes Guelph has crafted the best example of a holistic health care services by-law in Ontario. I believe we have done an excellent job representing the best interests of the whole community in this regard.

It makes me sick Period Well,

You're taking a "if they say it's wrong, it must be wrong attitude". Just because something is "illegal" doesn't make it wrong. We're not talking about children walking to school (you can't shield them forever), people going shopping (if they want body rubs, they know where to find them; if not, I imagine they would steer clear) or "legitimate" professionals (legitimate professionals will keep their legitimate clientele) We're talking about the city intervening in a personal and private business transaction where they don't belong, period.

Illegal ones are another matter. Why? Because the operation of a "common bawdy house" in Ontario is illegal. So is a crack house. It's not okay to break the law in Guelph. And it's not okay to do it on main streets where children walk to school, and people go shopping, and legitimate professionals conduct their business next door.

Why? Only people who want to be there go there. Those who don't want to go there don't, unless, of course, they really did "rub you the wrong way" And that’s just it Leanne,

you want to shut them down.

Why?

Only people who want to be there go there. Those who don’t want to go there don’t, unless, of course, they really did “rub you the wrong way”

That comment is here: http://guelphmercury.blogs.com/59_carden_st/2008/03/body-rub-angst.html#comment-107736444. Magda Hi Leanne,
